Avatar f tn I am very sorry to hear of your mother's medical condition. I did go back and review your October 2008 post about your mother's coma. I am including (below) a hyperlink to the Mayo Clinic's website where they discuss diabetic comas, including treatment. The Mayo Clinic is one of the top medical facilities in the US. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diabetic-coma/DS00656 I admire your devotion and love for your mother.

Avatar n tn I have bought socks from the Diabetic Sock Store, I think its called Therawear now, but the socks have been wonderful! I tried the Smartknit Seamless Diabetic sock, and they were really seamless. Some socks claim to be, but aren't. These socks have saved my feet, I have neuropathy. If anyone is interested the website is http://www.therawear.com/diabetic_seamless_socks.html I highly recommend these socks to anyone that needs diabetic socks.
Avatar m tn Diabetes Solutions by DR. Richard Beirstein , and log onto this website: diabetesdaily.com/forum to listen and learn from those long time diabetic 2 like you discussions. To save yourself, you have to search the internet , to learn and live myfriend, I myself a 20 years plus diabetic 2, now I don't have any leg pain at night , as my A1C keep coming down to 5.6%. and I never need to use Insulin. I use Dr. Beirstein rule:(6,12,12). Again read that book and start living again.
Avatar n tn Also, I need to let you know that I am not a medical professional, but a mother of a boy who is living with type 1. My son was diagnosed 7 yrs. ago at the age of three. You may have already found this, but below is a link to a yahoo support group. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/gastroparesis/ Another idea is to talk to your Endocrinologist and ask. Possibly they have a bulletin board and you can post a flyer and try to start a support group in your area. It does not hurt to ask.
Avatar n tn I am a male, 6'2 and 293 pounds and type2 diabetic. I found http://www.bariatricsweightloss.com/def_bar.html to be interesting but want another site like it that describes what medical doctors like bernsteins diet do to help diabetics lose weight rapidly but safely. is there any site you recommend?
Avatar m tn I am diabetic and I forgot my meter at home and one of my co-workers that is also diabetic offered me to use hers. I used a new lancelet and strip and used her meter. A couple hours later in an unrelated conversation she told me she had hepatitis when she was younger and now I am concerned with the risk of transmission. I was reading at the CDC website and they make is sound that is very possible. Any wise word of advice?
Avatar n tn Hi, It's really great to hear of all these long living diabetic people. I'm 50 and was diagnosed type 1 when I was 17. So far I have nearly always worked full time - earlier as a nurse and more recently as a primary teacher. I have one beautiful daughter now 19 and I suppose that's why I asked the question of life expectancy. She is at uni and plans to be a Lawyer so lots more years before grand children.
429432 tn?1343594190 Anyone ever hear of Metanx? My Dr. prescribed it for nerve damage in my leg/back, but the website says it's for diabetics. I'm not diabetic, shoulds I even be taking this stuff? Years ago, she gave me Vioxx, I read the warning leaflet and threw the pills in the trash. I was right, they were pulled off the market later on. I'm not sure about this either...
Avatar n tn I am looking for some serious help. I am a diabetic I have had this since I was 4 years old I will be 25 on the 24th of May. I do not have a doctor that I can turn to, I do not have medical or health insurance, I also can not hold on to a job due my unstableness of the diabetes. I have always been unstable with this problem. I have applied for ssi, medidaid..
Avatar n tn I am not a physician, but the mom of a type 1 diabetic, and the daughter of a type 2 diabetic. I do not know necessarily that your chances are higher for having a child with diabetes. I would suggest that you discuss your concerns about getting pregnant with your endocrinologist and your OB/GYN.

870040 tn?1252615119 I really wished we would have pushed for more specific reasoning as to why the secondary debulking was not recommended. My Mom is overweight, diabetic, and our gynonc doctor seemed to make it more about those types of body habitus factors than the actual procedure. We felt like she was saying we didn't 'deserve' a second shot because of Mom's weight and other conditions, and that the disease would kill her anyways, so why try?
1399155 tn?1280624978 i was wondering if its normal for a toddler to get blood sugars over 200 and not be a diabetic ? My son is 2 and we have had on 4 separate occations of blood sugar over 200 and one was over 300 , it is starting to concern me. I have heard that only diabetic should go over 200. yes i do wash his hand before testing my mother and a few cousins are diabetic so i have been testing him once and a while. he now is also drinking and peeing alot.
Avatar n tn Dear Paralegal, i am not aware of any insurance systems that one can change to that will cover diabetic supplies unless you become diabetic while on the insurance as after that most insurance plans i'm aware of will not treat a pre-existing condition. The only area i'm aware of that may have the information you desire is the American Diabetes Association.
16383393 tn?1447481326 Hello everyone, I happened upon his website looking up long term Opioid use for the 100th time and liked what I saw, so i joined. I have a lot in common with some people on this web site and can certainly identify with living in pain and pain management.I've been involved with pain management since day 1 of my back surgery (failed) 12 years ago. I feel this website could be an asset for me and perhaps my experiences may help someone else.

Avatar n tn Hey, I'm Zac, originally from Texas but living in Maine (4 now). I've been diabetic type 1 since I was a young teen. Seriously, I can remember the first minute I knew there was something wrong with my body. After loosing eighteen pounds in a week, gone through at least 100 bottles of soda and water, I was in the hospital with a blood sugar lvl of 823. Years later, things aren't much better. Though our A1c is supposed to be seven or under, the lowest mine has ever been was 8.2.
Avatar n tn ve had diabetes, so I want to encourage you, that if you are newly diagnosed, to visit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation website at www.jdrf.org and click on the section designated for the newly diagnosed and someone from the online diabetes support team can be assigned to you to answer any specific questions/needs you may have. They can also offer support from your local JDRF chapter if you wish so that you can have local community support also.

20602810 tn?1501685257 I'm Diabetic and need a low oxalate diet and I'm so confused with all the different lists online.  My doctor advised taking extra cinnamon in my diet but when I just had surgery on a 6mm stone in my urethra, my diet needs to be changed because cinnamon has high oxalate....but some lists online say it's low oxalate.  Please help me, if you can, in a website that has an accurate low oxalate list of foods and recipes that I can eat being Diabetic AND low oxalate.
Avatar n tn This is a great idea as it will help diabetics see that they are not alone with their disease and may help some keep on better track taking care of the disease. i am a type1 diabetic who became diabetic at age 21 and have had it for 33 years now and am still learning new things about diabetes.
